MONTEREY — Firefighters remained on the scene of a Pulaski County gas station blaze early Sunday. The fire was reported at 10 p.m. in an area behind the Corner Tavern on East Main Street in Monterey, county 911 dispatchers said. But witnesses at the scene told SBT24/7 News that the blaze was actually at the old Zehner's gas station behind the tavern. Dispatchers confirmed that location and said five fire companies — including Culver and Winamac — responded to the fire. Monterey crews still remained on the scene two hours later. There were no injuries reported. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
